ABSTRACTSchwannoma affect mainly head, neck, and flexor aspect of the limbs. Neurogenic tumors arising from the brachial plexus are rare and axillary schwannoma is extremely uncommon. Cystic degeneration is common in longstanding cases and which when aspirated may yield only macrophages or lymphocytes leading to false diagnosis of the case in spite of strong clinical suspicion. We report one such rare case of a solitary axillary schwannoma with extensive cystic degeneration, which was misdiagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology and subsequently confirmed by the histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry.

  Introduction: Neurilemmoma or Schwannomas are benign tumour arising from the nerve sheath of myelinated nerve. Head neck neurilemmomas are not uncommon but intraoral region is very uncommon for this type of tumour. Case Report: A very rare case of buccal neurilemmoma in an eleven year old child, but much larger than other reported case is reported in the present article with review of literature. Discussion: Among the intraoral subsites, very few cases of neurilemmoma are reported to be situated in the buccal mucosa. Diagnostic dilemmas due to Fine needle aspiration cytology with features often resembling that of pleomorphic salivary adenomas are reported. The size of the tumour was larger than the cases reported in literature till date. The age of the patient was also much younger than the other reported cases, which made the present case unique.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

Cysticercosis is a systemic parasitic disease caused by the larval form of cestodeT. solium. It has a worldwide distribution and is potentially harmful with variable clinical manifestations. The patient most commonly presents with subcutaneous and muscle involvement in the form of nodular lesions. The other most commonly involved sites include eye, brain, bladder wall, and heart. Cysticercosis can be diagnosed on serology, and radiologically but confirmatory diagnosis is based on histopathological examination of the involved tissue biopsy specimen. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a useful low-cost outpatient procedure tool for preoperative diagnosis of cysticercosis and is absolutely essential for diagnosis of the parasitic lesions in a peripheral hospital, one like ours.

Breast cancer has been considered a female dominated disease. Carcinoma of male breast is a rare disease representing 1% of all breast cancers and less than 1 % of all cancers in men. The mean age at presentation is mainly in sixties. We here present a case of male breast cancer presented at very young age of 29 years, diagnosed on fine needle aspiration which was confirmed later on histopathological examination.

ABSTRACT Extramedullary noncutaneous plasmacytoma (ENP) is a myeloproliferative disorder of plasma cells that rarely affects cats. This paper describes an ENP case revealed by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the mass in the skeletal muscle of an 8-month-old, male, mixed breed cat, which had a nodule in the left hind limb. The rapid immunoassay test confirmed the presence of feline leukemia virus (FeLV). The animal necropsy macroscopically showed the nodule came from the semimembranosus muscle. Histopathological examination ratified the cytological findings. Thus, this paper alerts to the existence of plasmacytoma located in the skeletal muscle of feline species. FNAC is a quick and efficient method for diagnosis of ENP.
